Chapter 469

Liu Bei's eyes lit up,

"Fine, as long as there is money to be made, everything is negotiable."

The guard commander exchanged glances with several sisters; as long as he was willing to make money, it was fine!

Pang Tong and Zhang Fei exchanged glances; the lord is truly good at acting!

The netizens in the broadcast room were also amused,

"The eared thief, this high-end hunter, is really good at disguising himself as prey!"

"I almost believed it; his eyes lit up when he heard about money!"

"The Oscars owe the eared thief a little golden man!"

"Is it really that easy to infiltrate Miss Zhu Rong's mountain stronghold?"

"Meng Huo is going to cry."

Liu Bei brought several dozen people to Miss Zhu Rong's mountain stronghold outside Wei County.

It was situated by the mountains and water, located on a main road, easy to defend and hard to attack, with strict guards.

Liu Bei and Pang Tong exchanged glances; even if they occupied Wei County, Miss Zhu Rong could hold them off by defending the stronghold.

Pang Tong whispered,

"Proprietor, we can only take it by wit, not by force!"

Liu Bei deeply agreed.

Over there, the guard commander Fenghuang and several others were whispering,

"Meng Huo is using his power to force the Cave Lord to marry him, so let's raise a concubine-man for the Cave Lord here!"

"The Cave Lord isn't that kind of person; what if she doesn't want him? Wouldn't it be a waste?"

"If the Cave Lord doesn't want him, we sisters will take him; we can't let others benefit!"

Liu Bei?? The folk customs here are indeed fierce!

The mountain stronghold was divided into an inner and outer stronghold. The inner stronghold was where Miss Zhu Rong and many of her subordinates lived, with stricter guards.

The outer stronghold was attached to the inner one, with commoners and people doing business.

It was quite lively at this time; after all, Miss Zhu Rong was getting married, and there were many things to purchase.

Liu Bei signaled Zhang Fei and the others to stay calm. He went alone with the guard commander to the inner stronghold, to a tidy room,

"You wait a moment; our Cave Lord will be here soon. Do you want to bathe first?"

Liu Bei?

"Do we have to bathe before doing business here?"

"This is our rule. You came all the way from Jingzhou, yet you don't even know this custom?"

Fenghuang was speaking nonsense with a straight face.

Liu Bei didn't mind; having traveled day and night to get here, he really wanted a bath,

"Alright then."

Liu Bei chased away several female guards who wanted to help voluntarily, took a bath himself, and felt refreshed.

Fenghuang walked in again, her eyes lighting up,

"I didn't expect you could be even more handsome!"

"Tsk tsk, these muscles..."

Liu Bei... When women become lecherous, there's nothing left for men to do.

Miss Zhu Rong returned to the inner stronghold, her mood not very good. The closer it got to the wedding, the more irritable she felt!

Especially today, seeing an extremely handsome Central Plains man, his image was still in her mind,

"What is wrong with me?"

"Miss Zhu Rong, you are someone who is getting married; you can't be like this."

Guard commander Fenghuang walked in,

"Cave Lord, you are getting married soon, so the sisters have prepared a special gift for you."

Miss Zhu Rong? A special gift?

She arrived at the side hall with a puzzled expression and saw Liu Bei, who was leisurely drinking tea, at a glance,

"Why are you here?"

Liu Bei shrugged,

"Your guards said I was a spy and brought me here."

Miss Zhu Rong was a bit stunned, thinking to herself,

"So the man in front of me is the so-called 'gift'?!"

"These damn guys!"

Liu Bei cupped his hands,

"Nanyang merchant Liu De has met Cave Lord Miss Zhu Rong."

Miss Zhu Rong observed Liu Bei at close range and felt even more that this person was simply too charming,

sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, shining like the stars, with light in his eyes,

making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, wishing they could give him themselves—no, their money!

"He is indeed material for doing business!"

Liu Bei was also observing Miss Zhu Rong; she was about twenty, youthful and energetic, both beautiful and heroic, with clear abdominal muscles.

Miss Zhu Rong stared fixedly at Liu Bei,

"You are a Nanyang merchant? I don't think so; you look more like a member of a noble clan. Your surname is Liu; you wouldn't be Liu Bei, would you?"

Miss Zhu Rong immediately laughed; she really dared to think. The Liu Bei who shook the nine provinces came alone to her mountain stronghold? It was funny just thinking about it.

The broadcast room exploded,

"Little sister, you guessed right; he is the eared thief!"

"When the little sister smiled, I felt soft all over!"

"The eared thief is Miss Zhu Rong's takeout; just be honest!"

Liu Bei looked at himself and laughed dumbly,

"I am Lord Xuande? Thank you, Cave Lord, for thinking so highly of me."

Miss Zhu Rong rolled her eyes at him,

"I don't believe you are a merchant!"

"What is the price of grain in Wei County today?"

"What goods do you mainly sell when coming from Jingzhou to Yizhou? What are the prices? What goods do you buy from here to sell well in Jingzhou?"

Liu Bei answered one by one, very carefully and very well.

Since he was pretending to be a merchant, Liu Bei still had to do his homework.

Miss Zhu Rong was dumbfounded; this guy actually knew more than she did,

"Impossible, you have more temperament than any governor I've seen; you are definitely not the disguising type."

Liu Bei sighed long, with tears faintly in his eyes,

"I also want to build merit in this chaotic world, but my background is not high. A few years ago, I was still selling straw sandals in Nanyang Commandery. I earned some money in the past few years, so I came to Nanzhong to do business."

Miss Zhu Rong's heart softened instantly,

"I didn't expect you to have suffered so much. Don't worry, I will take all your goods; I will definitely give you the best price."

After saying this,

Miss Zhu Rong felt a jolt in her heart and wished she could slap herself. She was actually bewitched by a man and even took the initiative to send money?!

This had never happened before!

"This man is poisonous! There is a big problem!"

Liu Bei laughed,

"That's fine, that's fine. Just now, when the Cave Lord looked at me in the crowd, I thought they were planning to snatch people. It's good that the Cave Lord is buying goods."

Miss Zhu Rong was unhappy. What is the meaning of this? Old lady is so beautiful, and you aren't happy if I snatch you?

Liu Bei added,

"I heard that the Barbarian King Meng Huo is young but looks old (looks old), and has a big face (big face). Cave Lord, you are blessed {pitiful}."

Miss Zhu Rong felt terrible. Can this person chat?
